Nothing to say about your thread you deleted?

Thought not.

Stop your seething you muppet.

I am not Mod.

That would be an ecumenical matter.

Wasn't there a thread years ago where one of these "Nigerian princes" was doing an email scam and a P&Ber replied asking him for lions?

I regularly get emails, two or three a week saying my email account, the works one I use to receive works orders from clients and send invoices has been 'compromised' and I need to log in with my address and password to stop my account being wiped.

First one I got a couple of years ago I naively logged in and found emails going missing left right and centre. Changed my password later that day but still get these requests all the time, usually with a header saying Microsoft or Hotmail security team but a sender based in Canada or Sri Lanka etc

For reasons like this I never use my bank details over the internet, not even PayPal

Where did you find your missing E-mails?

It was the community charge (poll tax) I refused to pay that got me sent down not the council tax.
